A new ndctl release is available[1] after a short hiatus. Expect a more
normal release cadence to resume after this.

This release incorporates functionality up to the 5.16 kernel.

Highlights include a new utility and library for interfacing with the
'CXL' drivers and devices, a policy based configuration mechanism for
ndctl and daxctl, fixes, test updates, and general additions for the
PAPR family of NVDIMMs, more seed device accounting fixes, misc unit
test and documentation updates, and fixes to NVDIMM bus scrubbing.

A shortlog is appended below.
